If people aren't posting, it's probably because they aren't having any problems. I get no errors when testing either pk3... try reinstalling if you haven't already. If the problem persists you may have a bum CD. :( Try to return it if it isn't too la...  [Read More]

'vis' computes visibility - I don't think it has anything to do with lighting. Can you give more information? What menu option are you using? What is displayed in the DOS box that pops up?...  [Read More]

Arches and columns certainly yes. As for stairs, in your case I see that the steps are simple blocks sitting on top of a ramp, so also make them detail. Think of it this way - if you removed the steps, would you be able to see from the inside of the...  [Read More]

Your problem is not your system. It's a problem of optimization. First of all, sweet map. :) Very nice architecture. Of course, that's the problem. I downloaded your map and tried to compile... waited for 20 minutes... then gave up. Okay, open up JK...  [Read More]

You probably don't have 'show curves' selected in the view->show menu. Make sure it has a check mark by it. Either that or the camera in the editor is too far away from the cylinder - stuff that's far from the camera tends to get clipped for speed...  [Read More]

There are mirrors in the game - one near the very very end, in the middle of a hallway. Perhaps there are also others I missed. In any case, they're certainly possible....  [Read More]

I'm not an expert on curves, but I believe that CSG operations don't work on them, ie. you can't cut a doorway in your cylindrical room. However, I assume it's possible to make a simple patch mesh and bend it into a near-complete cylinder, leaving a...  [Read More]
